Australia: Governor General Supports Marriage Equality

Quentin Bryce made the comments as she concluded her final Boyer Lecture on Friday evening. She said she hoped Australia would become a country “where people are free to love and marry whom they choose”. “And where perhaps, my friends, one day one young girl or boy may even grow up to be our nation’s first head of state,” she said.

The Governor General is Queen Elizabeth’s representative in Australia. One more person in power recognizing that LGBT citizens deserve the same rights and responsibilities as everyone else.
